Solution

The correct option is A James II and William III
James II, after being dethroned in 1688, he went to the French King Louis XIV. He provided James II with a French Army. He went to Ireland and gave land back to the Irish Catholics. The Battle of Boyne was fought between James II and William III at the River Boyne in July 1690, when William III sent an army to crush James II. The forces of James II were defeated and English troops established control over Ireland.
Thus, option A is correct.
